By Eddie Ash SHERLOCK MENTIONED IN DEAL I VINCE MAY MOVE TO CARDINALS

in tt Sr& 4* ftrl

N ew YORK and other big league baseball centers hear that Branch Rickey is rather attracted to Vincent Sherlock of Buffalo, Indianapolis’ 1935 second sacker who was sold on a trial basis to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Rickey is general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the head man of their “chain store.” The Cards are seeking a replacement for Burgess Whitehead, Frankie Frisch’s understudy, who was swapped to the Giants this winter. In the event St. Louis and Brooklyn swing a deal that includes the Buffalo youth, his chances of returning to Indianapolis are sure to go out likp a light. Once in the "chain store" a young plaver of any promise is retained in the Mound City or is sent to a Cardinal farm. According to the major league observers and guessers. St. Louis and Brooklyn have discussed a transaction that would send Jim Bucher or Sherlock to Frisch's club in exchange for John Mize, first baseman, a situation which would permit the Flatbush team to trade First Baseman Sam Leslie to the Giants. However, Brooklyn first must pay Indianapolis for Sherlock, and settle in full, before using him as trading material.

nan AL SIMMONS promised to hit .350 at Navin Field next year when Mickey Cochrane was moaning over the $75,000 price placed on A1 by the White Sox. Moreover, the Milwaukee product said he would play for the Tigers for whatever Manager Cochrane had to offer. And the Bengal boss capitulated. It was the first check Cochrane signed in his new position as vice president and he felt a little dizzy about it. Mike gibbons,* the old st. Paul battler, didn’t want his son. Jack, to take up prize fighting and Uncle Tom, also another former king bee boxer, held the same view. But. young Jack entered an amateur tourney without consulting dad and displayed such amazing glove skill that old Mike soon was convinced there was nothing else to do but teach his offspring all of the tricks of beak-busting. o tt a California has caught up with the East on producing sky-scraper basketball players. There isn't a player on the Bear’s sqr.xd under six feet. Just like the Redwoods. tt tt a Frank Kurtz, the 1932 Olympic high diver, is now an airplane pilot. When he dives nowadays it’s only because there is no other choice. u u a IpLMER OLIPHANT, the old all!v America from Purdue and West Point, is an insurance man in New York. Several years ago the late Knute Rockne named Oliphant an all-time, all-America backfielder, along with Jim Thorpe, Morley Drury and Ernie Nevers. In 1913, with 30 seconds to go. Oliphant electrified Purdue rooters by running 97 yards for a touchdown to trounce Wisconsin. a a a Baseball won a ‘‘great victory” over softball in Evansville. The Pocket City is going to return to the Three ! League. Softball held the upperhand last year and efforts to place a baseball franchise there met with failure. The “two for a nickel” teams in some manner obtained an influential grip on the ball park and refused to let it go. TECH REGULAR RETURNS Amos Childers, veteran Tech High School basketball guard, who has been on the sidelines with a severed artery in his wrist, participated in a. light practice drill yesterday. He may be able to play in this week's games. Friday Tech travels to Columbus and on Saturday is host to Frankfort.

Panthers Soar Over Locals in Block-Out Skit Pittmen Flash Under-Hoop Plays to Outscore Bulldogs, 36-28. BY PAUL BOXELL Around and around the block they go, until their opponents bobble like landlubbers on their first ocean hop. The Pittsburgh Panthers used an inexhaustible assortment of block plays last r.ight to conquer Butler’s Bulldogs in a college basketball game at the Butler Fieldhouse, 36 to 28. They incessantly snapped the ball around in a merry whirligig until one man spurted free under the basket to fire away while his defending opponent found himself completely bottled up. The Bulldogs flashed a bit of fancy maneuvering themselves occasionally, and pulled within two points of the tireless Pittmen in the last half, but couldn’t get over the Panther defensive hump. Batts Gets 16 Roscoe Batts was outstanding for the locals, collecting 16 points to keep bright his chances for anew Butler all-time scoring record this season. Dr. Harold (Red) Carlson, Pitt coach, brought along ten athletes for the trip, used them all last night, and they split honors among themselves. Radowsky, a brawny guard, held a slight edge in the scoring department, with 11 points. Coach Carlson substituted as freely as a college grid coach in a warmup game. Any combination he cared to put together seemed to work as smoothly as his starting selection. Radowsky Goes Under The Bulldogs were ahead once in the fray, and that was in the first minute when Batts looped in a shot from the side. Radowsky thundered under the basket to even the score. Noon, Pitt’s rangy, capable center, and Radowsky pulled a few fast ones to give the visitors a 10-2 lead before the Hinklemen settled down to serious action. With the Butler offensives having trouble getting through the Pitt defensive wall, tfie visitors continued to find the range, and led, 17-7, later 19-10, then 23 to 12. Batts took a clever bounce pass from Brafford to score under the hoop as the gun ended the half. All Pepped Up on Return Coach Tony Hinkle evidently gave his cagers an inspiring snatch of the old rah-rah in the dressing room, for they came back to uncork a round of dazzle passing that sent the invaders back on their heels for a few’ minutes. Batts netted two goals in succession from the same spot at the side of the basket. Jesko bolstered Pitt with an under-basket connection, then Batts came back with another fancy one-hander and a free toss to cut the Pitt overlap to 25-23. The Pitt boys called time out, got together, and soon were leading 28 to 24. Roderick added a free throw point for the Panthers before Batts dribbled the length of the hardwood to tally and hold the difference to 29-26. Spitovich broke through on a fancy block to ring up

HARPER LEADS ARMY RIFLEMEN TO TRIUMPH The state detachment, Indiana National Guard rifle team, gained a 472-to-459 victory over the Plainfield shooters at the Armory last night in a Central Indiana Rifle League match. Harper, with 96 out of a possible 100, turned in the best record for the Soldiers, while Jessup banged out a 94 to lead the visitors. another for Pitt, and Batts retaliated with a fancy twister heave. That was all for the Bulldogs, as far as the scoreboard was concerned. Spitovich polished off the conquest with a two-pointer on an under-basket block setup, and Roderick dropped in his fourth and fifth gift tosses in as many tries in the final moments. The Bulldogs are to oppose Purdue in their next encounter at the fieldhouse here Saturday night. Summary: Butler (28). Pittsburgh (36).

The touornament record of 287 strokes for 72 holes, set by Gene Sarazen in 1931, was certain to fall. Nine players needed anywhere from 77 to par 71 to wreck it. Turner, by touring yesterday’s 18 in 66—five under par and one stroke better than the record set by Willie MacFarlane in 1933—had a twostroke lead over the field. Two strokes behind were Horton Smith, Oak Park, 111., and Frank Walsh, Chicago. MacFarlane, who scored 67 yesterday, stood four strokes behind the leader at 213. Bunched at 214 were George Smith, Chicago, and Johnny Revolta, Milwaukee, P. G. A. champ. At 215, came John Milutic, Youngstown, o.; Ky Laffoon, Chicago, and Bruce Coltart, Woodcrest, N. J. Sarazen, former American and British Open titleholder, appeared out of the running with 221. Most of the “name” players were well down on the list. * Tommy Armour. P. G. A. finalist, had 221. Sam Parks, 1935 United States Open champion, had 222. Billy Burke, former Open titleholder, had 220 and Paul Runyan, 218. Despite longer tees which were introduced for yesterday’s first 18 of the final 36, par received one of the worst drubbings in the history of the tournament. Turner led the assault, going out in 35, three under par, and returning in 34, two under. His card included six birdies and only once, on the difficult dog-legged tenth, did he go over.

Red Sox Get Manush From Nats in Trade Boston Club Gives Reynolds and Roy Johnson for Vet Outfielder. By United Prcxs WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Clark C. Griffith, owner of the Washington Americans, today announced that he had traded Heinie Manush, hard-hitting left fielder, to the Boston Red Sox for Outfielders Carl Reynolds and Roy Johnson. Griffith, who is known as one of the smartest baseball dealers in the business, indicated that he believed Washington got the better of the deal. Griffith has been trying to trade Manush since the season closed. Just two days ago he remarked that “Heinie is going to be traded to somebody. The public wants new faces and I am going to give them what they want.” The deal gave Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox one of his best friends and admirers. Frequently Manush has said, "I would rather work for Joe Cronin than any other manager I know.” Net Gossip The East Side Cardinals will meet the Central Christian Cubs at the Fort Wayneav and Walnut-st gym tomorrow at 7 p. m.
